Yeah, good.

I think the past couple of weeks we've trained really well.

So I think it is exciting and what better way to open it against England in front of, what, 75,000 people now?

Yeah, like even like driving around Twickenham, like there's signs up everywhere.

It's on bus stops everywhere.

It's on buses everywhere.

Right.

Like it's very well advertised.

And then even when the men were playing, because I know I was sent a few pictures of it before, the men were playing and on different signs around the stadium, obviously the women's game would be advertised.

And then I think the men must have been playing there just before Christmas or something like that.

And every second advert kind of on the screens in Twickenham was give the gift of champions.

And it was tickets to watch the world champions versus us in the opener of the Six Nations.

So like,

they've been very clever with how they market it and as well like I've done different bits with Ellie in terms of like media stuff and like it is it is kind of interesting to see the kind of other side of how they do it and how they kind of sell out their matches because yeah they just really go after it

Well, I think within our squad, I think it's been spoken a lot about belief in the past, whether it was going up against New Zealand in WXV1.

And I think this squad has bucket loads of belief, as everyone knows we do.

But I think anyone who plays England goes out with the belief that they could win it.

yeah why not yeah why not I think there's definitely areas to get after whether like we've obviously gone hard at analysing them we've worked at it now the past two weeks and yeah like you see like even when we played them in Cork last year like we got up to 50 odd minutes I think it was and it was still very much in it I think it was 7-5 at that stage something like that yeah

And then obviously a few things didn't go our way.

And we made quite a few mistakes that we probably shouldn't have.
